Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 6%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $106 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 6% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits, Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown:

Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 567,000 7,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 450,000 6,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 270,000 15,000 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 693,000 420,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 660,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,640,000

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $34,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Activity

Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 11 24
Number of manual orders 0 45
Number of electronic orders 16 0
Number of line items picked 130 230

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $34,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.)

It is February 16, 2018, and you are auditing Davenport Corporation’s financial statements for 2017 (which will be issued in March 2018). You read in the newspaper that Travis Corporation, a major customer of Davenport, is in financial difficulty. Included in Davenport’s accounts receivable is $50,000 (a material amount) owed to it by Travis. You approach Jim Davenport, president, with this information and suggest that a reduction of accounts receivable and recognition of a loss on doubtful accounts for 2017 might be appropriate. Jim replies, “Why should we make an adjustment? Ted Travis, the president of Travis Company, is a friend of mine; he will find a way to pay us, one way or another. Furthermore, this occurred in 2018, so let’s wait and see what happens; we can always make an adjustment later this year.”

Required: Write a memo:-

In your position as the external auditor of Davenport Corporation, prepare a memo to Jim Davenport and address the following:

  1. The ethical issues you both face.
  2. The major stakeholders involved and state how the stakeholders would be affected by the course of action suggested by Jim Davenport.
  3. Explain why you believe the course of action proposed by Charlie Brown is ethical or unethical.
  4. Explain the proper accounting treatment and support your answer with appropriate authoritative citation.

Single Plantwide Rate and Activity-Based Costing Whirlpool Corporation conducted an activity-based costing study of its Evansville,...

  1. Single Plantwide Rate and Activity-Based Costing

    Whirlpool Corporation conducted an activity-based costing study of its Evansville, Indiana, plant in order to identify its most profitable products. Assume that we select three representative refrigerators (out of 333): one low-, one medium-, and one high-volume refrigerator. Additionally, we assume the following activity-base information for each of the three refrigerators:

    Three Representative
    Refrigerators
    Number of
    Machine Hours
    Number of
    Setups
    Number of
    Sales Orders
    Number of
    Units
    Refrigerator—Low Volume 120 21 63 600
    Refrigerator—Medium Volume 310 20 140 1,550
    Refrigerator—High Volume 960 14 210 4,800

    Prior to conducting the study, the factory overhead allocation was based on a single machine hour rate. The machine hour rate was $600 per hour. After conducting the activity-based costing study, assume that three activities were used to allocate the factory overhead. The new activity rate information is assumed to be as follows:


    Machining Activity

    Setup Activity
    Sales Order
    Processing Activity
    Activity rate $580 $900 $200

    a. Complete the following table, using the single machine hour rate to determine the per-unit factory overhead for each refrigerator (Column A) and the three activity-based rates to determine the activity-based factory overhead per unit (Column B). Finally, compute the percent change in per-unit allocation from the single to activity-based rate methods (Column C).

    If required, round all per unit answers to the nearest cent. Round percents to one decimal place. For column C, use the minus sign to indicate a negative or decrease.

    Column A Column B Column C


    Product Volume Class
    Single Rate
    Overhead Allocation
    Per Unit
    ABC
    Overhead Allocation
    Per Unit

    Percent Change in
    Allocation
    Low $ $ %
    Medium $ $ %
    High $ $ %

    b. Why is the traditional overhead rate per machine hour greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method?

    The machine hour rate is greater under the single rate method than under the activity-based method because 100% of the factory overhead is is allocated by machine hours under the single rate method. However, only a portion of the factory overhead is allocated under the machine rate method using activity-based costing. The remaining factory overhead is allocated using the . Thus, the numerator for for determining the machine hour rate under activity-based costing must be less than the numerator under the single machine hour rate method.

    c. Interpret Column C in your table from part (A).

    Column C indicates that under activity-based costing the low-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. In contrast, under activity-based costing the high-volume product has a per-unit cost than calculated under the single rate method. This result will occur when there are activities that occur in proportions different from their volumes. In this case, volume products have setups and sales orders occurring in higher proportions of total setups and sales orders than their proportion of machine hours to total machine hours. The opposite is the case for the volume product. Thus, the lower-volume products are produced and ordered in batch sizes compared to the higher-volume product. This implies that Whirlpool may wish to simplify its product line by eliminating some of the volume products or by attempting to reduce the overall cost of setup and sales order processing activities.

Scenario

Cartech Manufacturing is engaged in the production of replacement parts for automobiles. One plant specializes in the production of two parts: Part 271 and Part 342. Part 271 produces the highest volume of activity, and for many years it was the only part produced by the plant. Five years ago, Part 342 was added. Part 342 was more difficult to manufacture and required special tooling and setups. Profits increased for the first three years after the addition of the new product. In the past two years, however, the plant has faced intense competition, and its sales of Part 271 have dropped. In fact, the plant showed a small loss in the most recent reporting period. Much of the competition was from foreign sources, and the plant manager was convinced that the foreign producers were guilty of selling the part below the cost of producing it. The following conversation between Tricia Goodson, plant manager, and Jackson Fielding divisional marketing manager, reflects the concerns of the division about the future of the plant and its products.

Jackson: You know, Tricia, the divisional manager is really concerned about the plant’s trend. He indicated that in this budgetary environment, we can’t afford to carry plants that don’t show a profit. We shut one down just last month because it couldn’t handle the competition.

Tricia: Joe, you and I both know that Part 271 has a reputation for quality and value. It has been a mainstay for years. I don’t understand what’s happening.

Jackson: I just received a call from one of our major customers concerning Part 271. He said that a sales representative from another firm offered the part at $20 per unit-- $11 less than what we charge. It’s hard to compete with a price like that. Perhaps the plant is simply obsolete.

Tricia: No. I don’t buy that. From my sources, I know we have good technology. We are efficient. And it’s costing a little more than $21 to produce that part. I don’t see how these companies can afford to sell it so cheaply. I’m not convinced that we should meet the price. Perhaps a better strategy is to emphasize producing and selling more of Part 342. Our margin is high on this product, and we have virtually no competition for it.

Jackson: You may be right. I think we can increase the price significantly and not lose business. I called a few customers to see how they would react to a 25 percent increase in price, and they all said that they would still purchase the same quantity as before.

Tricia: It sounds promising. However, before we make a major commitment to Part 342, I think we had better explore other possible explanations. I want to know how our production costs compare with those of our competitors. Perhaps we could be more efficient and find a way to earn our normal return on Part 271. The market is so much bigger for this part. I’m not sure we can survive with only Part 342. Besides, my production people hate that part. It’s very difficult to produce.

After her meeting with Jackson, Tricia requested an investigation of the production costs and comparative efficiency. She received approval to hire Wake Consulting Group to make an independent investigation.

You, as the staff accountant for Wake Consulting Group, have uncovered the following costs and activities associated with the two products.

Overhead is allocated using a plant-wide rage based on direct labor hours.

Preliminary analysis of costs by Wake Consulting Group revealed that similar costs can be categorized into the following cost pools. Setup costs are costs that occur each time a new production run is made. They involve retooling and reconfiguring the machines and technology. Material handling costs include the equipment and personnel required to transport materials from supplier trucks to the machines. Typically, materials are taken to a storage area before being transported to machines. Each production run will need new materials and materials may also be transported during production runs. Machine costs primarily include depreciation and machine maintenance. Although the machines are depreciated using accelerated depreciation schedules, typically the machine wear out from use and are replaced before they become obsolete. Receiving costs include the costs of clerical and technical help associated with the processing of each order received from a customer. Engineering costs include the technical support staff that implement design changes in the part, manage processes to maintain quality, and provide technical information on the product. The engineering staff maintain a record of the amount of time spent on each product. General plant costs include all the other administrative costs not included in the other cost pools.

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,000 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,600 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit. The company’s traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the company’s two product lines is shown below:

B300 T500 Total
Direct materials $ 400,200 $ 162,900 $ 563,100
Direct labor $ 120,700 $ 42,700 163,400
Manufacturing overhead 524,024
Cost of goods sold $ 1,250,524

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $55,000 and $101,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the company’s manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:
